Feature Request Type

• [ ] Core functionality
• [ ] Add-on hardware support (eg. audio, RGB, OLED screen, etc.)
• [X] Alteration (enhancement/optimization) of existing feature(s)
• [ ] New behavior

Description

In the framework.h file for the Framework 16 keyboard, please add an additional keycode at the end that can be referenced in keymaps. It would likely look like this:

enum framework_keycodes {
  // Custom keycode to change screen modes (e.g. enable external screen)
  KC_SCRN = SAFE_RANGE,
  FN_LOCK,
  FW_SAFE_RANGE,
};

This would allow for custom keymaps to add keycodes in a robust manner, such as:

enum cool_keymap_keycodes {
  NEAT_BUTTON = FW_SAFE_RANGE,
  ANOTHER_BUTTON,
};

[nicknimchuk]

On further investigation, it looks like the keyboard-level files should be using QK_KB_0 as the start of the keyboard-specific keycodes, not SAFE_RANGE. That would mean that no FW_SAFE_RANGE would be needed, since keymap-specific keycodes could just use SAFE_RANGE then.
